ON, CANADAMultiple Congenital Musculoskeletal Abnormalities. Try saying that 10 times fast. Better yet...try living with it. Too often, people allow the speed bumps they run into on the road of life appear as mountains. Michael flies over speed bumps...in his wheelchair...allowing him to take flight.
Having a disability since birth, Michael wears an artificial leg, walks with a cane and uses a wheelchair for longer distances. Contrary to what many would believe possible, Michael became a chartered accountant and also obtained his MBA from Edinburgh Business School.
He has built and sold successful accounting and financial planning practices and today, in addition to continuing a successful career in finance and accounting, Michael uses speaking, comedy and writing to not only educate people as to what people with disabilities can do, but to also inspire them to overcome their own challenges.
